dma-mapping: always provide the dma_map_ops based implementation

2016-01-21T01:09:18+00:00

Move the generic implementation to  now that all
architectures support it and remove the HAVE_DMA_ATTR Kconfig symbol now
that everyone supports them.

arch/frv/include/asm/io.h: accept const void pointers for read{b,w,l}()

2016-01-21T01:09:18+00:00

The SMD driver is reading and writing chunks of data to iomem, and
there's an __iowrite32_copy() function for the writing part, but no
__ioread32_copy() function for the reading part.  This series adds
__ioread32_copy() and uses it in two places.

This patch (of 4):

The frv port uses compiler builtins, __builtin_read*(), for the I/O read
routines.  Unfortunately, these don't accept const void pointers although
the generic ASM implementations do, so generic code passing const pointers
to these APIs cause compilers to emit warnings.  Add wrapper functions
that cast away the const to avoid the warnings.

frv: fix compiler warning from definition of __pmd()

2016-01-16T01:56:32+00:00

Take into account that the pmd_t type is a array inside a struct, so it
needs two levels of brackets to initialize.  Otherwise, a usage of __pmd
generates a warning:

  include/linux/mm.h:986:2: warning: missing braces around initializer [-Wmissing-braces]

locking/cmpxchg, arch: Remove tas() definitions

2015-12-04T10:39:51+00:00

It seems that commit 5dc12ddee93 ("Remove tas()") missed some files.
Correct this and fully drop this macro, for which we should be using
cmpxchg() like calls.

Merge branch 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile

2015-10-04T15:31:13+00:00

Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.

Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.

The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.

strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
overlong result.  To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.

strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
which returns the original length of the source string.  Which means
that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
you have to trust the source to be properly terminated.  It also makes
error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
subtle.

strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
(but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG.  It also
doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
untrusted source data too.

So why did I waffle about this for so long?

Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.

And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.

So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches.  Use this in
places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
that aren't actually known to be broken.

atomic, arch: Audit atomic_{read,set}()

2015-09-23T07:54:28+00:00

This patch makes sure that atomic_{read,set}() are at least
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE().

We already had the 'requirement' that atomic_read() should use
ACCESS_ONCE(), and most archs had this, but a few were lacking.
All are now converted to use READ_ONCE().

And, by a symmetry and general paranoia argument, upgrade atomic_set()
to use WRITE_ONCE().

2015-09-03T22:46:07+00:00

Pull locking and atomic updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Main changes in this cycle are:

   - Extend atomic primitives with coherent logic op primitives
     (atomic_{or,and,xor}()) and deprecate the old partial APIs
     (atomic_{set,clear}_mask())

     The old ops were incoherent with incompatible signatures across
     architectures and with incomplete support.  Now every architecture
     supports the primitives consistently (by Peter Zijlstra)

   - Generic support for 'relaxed atomics':

       - _acquire/release/relaxed() flavours of xchg(), cmpxchg() and {add,sub}_return()
       - atomic_read_acquire()
       - atomic_set_release()

     This came out of porting qwrlock code to arm64 (by Will Deacon)

   - Clean up the fragile static_key APIs that were causing repeat bugs,
     by introducing a new one:

       DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name);
       DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name);

     which define a key of different types with an initial true/false
     value.

     Then allow:

       static_branch_likely()
       static_branch_unlikely()

     to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the
     case.  To be able to know the 'type' of the static key we encode it
     in the jump entry (by Peter Zijlstra)

   - Static key self-tests (by Jason Baron)

   - qrwlock optimizations (by Waiman Long)

   - small futex enhancements (by Davidlohr Bueso)

   - ... and misc other changes"
